I'm Candace Bartel, founder of Collective HR Consulting.
For more than 30 years, I've had the opportunity to work with organizations of all sizes, helping leaders build strong teams, navigate change, and create workplaces where people can do their best work.
My background includes executive leadership roles in human resources, operations, and organizational development, along with several years as a consultant working alongside businesses, non-profits, and leadership teams. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand that organizations achieve their best results when they invest in their people.
That belief is what led me to start Collective HR.
I wanted to create a consulting practice that combines strategic thinking with practical, real-world support. One that focuses on relationships, collaboration, and solutions that make a meaningful difference for both people and organizations.
As a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) and Certified Working Genius Facilitator, I bring experience, perspective, and a genuine commitment to helping leaders and teams succeed.

A Little About Me
I'm based in southeastern Manitoba and have been married for more than 30 years. I'm a proud mom of two adult married children and grandma to two amazing grandchildren.
Family has always been at the centre of my life, and it's shaped how I approach my work. I believe strong relationships are at the heart of every successful family, team, and organization.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll likely find me fishing, paddleboarding, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with family and friends.
The same values that guide my personal life guide my work: building trust, having honest conversations, showing up when it matters, and helping others succeed. I love partnering with leaders and teams to solve challenges, build on their strengths, and create workplaces where people and organizations can achieve great things together.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to leave people, teams, and organizations better than I found them.
